Sorry to say Goodbye!!!

Well, it is official!!! My insurance agency declared my Libby a total loss. ($8,300+ in damage, darn full size trucks) So with many tears in my eyes :cry:

, I removed my remaining few personal effects from her before she was hauled off for good. It has been a fun ride while it lasted. Sucks real bad as I paid it off in April. I would like to have purchased another one but after realizing I'm only one little fender bender away from totalling it out, I had to move on to a 2006 GMC Envoy. (Yes, the wife picked it out) So with that said, it is with much regret that I have to move on. Happy Holidays to everybody on here and I'll check back in from time to time to see how life with a Libby is going for everyone. Take care!!!

id hate to inform you but the envoy has about a million crumple zones.

Yeah, but that's what crumple zones are for.

Its not any less likely to be totaled than a liberty

Back in feb, 2 weeks after I got mine, a Grand Am GT was flying past me in the snow on the highway on a turn, lost it, and plowed into me. I was doing 45-50ish and they were doing at least 65. They lost it, slipped sideways and T-boned me.

About 3 months later I was at a dead stop on the highway because traffic built up, just sitting there minding my own business and wishing traffic would hurry up, when behold! A lady driving a Nissan Altima rammed me full speed ahead, the police estimated no less than 65. Never even heard a tire screech. She took out all 4 fenders, both bumpers, tailgate, bent the exhaust system and muffler, popped the vents out of my vent holes, and my cell phone in the cup holder was a razr, it got smashed to bits. The bluetooth on my ear flew off and hit the windshield and broke.

It should have been totaled, but the damage on it wasnt all that bad, being it was all plastic tupperware. Long story short, they replaced the tupperware, did an alignment and the thing drives mint. After that, I definately have some faith in the liberty.

Personally I dont see an Envoy taking that kind of hit and not being totaled.

I do wish you luck with your new GMC!

Sorry to hear that you're leaving us - we could always use an extra mate

And on the other side I'm happy to hear that a Liberty can withstand some punishment in a collison. That was one of the very good reasons to change from my old Patrol to this one...

Darn. Sorry to see you go. We don't have enough Wyomingites as it is!

Did I miss a thread about the wreck?

So do you think the liberty is not safe? If that why youre getting the rebadged trailblazer?

Maybe you can sit in the passenger seat and drive?

mark my words...
he WILL be getting another Jeep
Just give it time
I think he miss-typed part of his post - I think he meant GC instead of GMC

No, that just means you're more likely to roll over in the KJ if you do something you SHOULDN'T do. Corvettes roll over more often than KJ's, statistically.

No arguments here. Eventually, everyone here winds up with at least one Jeep in the driveway. Little else will work when there's 6-16" of snow, 30mph winds at 0 degrees F. Much like the last couple of mornings.

Thanks all for the replies, but when I get a chance I will post a couple pics of what my Libby looked like after the accident and you will be wondering where the $8300 in damage is? Just proves to me that the Libby's are a little pricey to repair. And YES, I had 3 estimates done and they were all within $200 of each other. Oh and sorry Dje Ryu, I recently moved up to Alaska but forgot to update it in my profile, so I am no longer a Wyomingite anyways.
